"666" I fit these symptoms, but being a intellectual more so than an emotional trader, I get my high's when MY plan works out rather than letting "whoever "control my continuing existence. I LOVE IT VAN

While the rest of the world waits all year for 3 days off, we loath them.

What about sleep deprivation, stock dreams ( and sometimes nightmares), and having your bodies built in alarm clock waking you up everyday (even on the weekends) 15 minutes before the opening bell.......
Only 16 hours until the market opens!!!

lots of social life is why i do this but "normal" social life is boring. when i can't play rock and roll anymore, then i might consider taking a small position in NORM as long as i can day trade it if i don't like it long.

Oh No! I'm doomed. I even tried to explain what I'm doing to my 84 year old deaf neighbor! He just kept nodding and smiling...and I kept explaining. Then he walked away, shaking his head.

Until now, I felt so alone. I'm going on vacation next month. A dream trip really, skiing in Colorado. Vail no less. And yet ...... I worry. Can I get wireless internet before the trip? Would I get a signal there? Do they let you on the ski lift with a laptop? Oh, wait. I don't yet have a laptop. Do they let on the ski lift with a desk top? I think not. Ergo, I am not as happy as I should be. (sigh)
I have a dream (regularly actually) that one of my holdings will go, shall we say platinum. And all of current dreams will come true. No more pesky day job. My house on a mountain top. (I used to think I was shy, turns out I just don't like many people) (more sighing) Nothing but trading!

I'm not sure what my full time job is anymore. I make more doing this but have clients that still expect me to work. When I look at the clock in the morning, I measure my available time by when the bell will ring. My memory is more attuned to stocks and prices then it is to most other things. I think that naming this PC is a great idea. Anna, I also cringe when I vacation and can't have access to an immediate fix of DD.

5 MINUTES AFTER OPENING BELL MY PHONE LINE WENT DEAD. STORMING OUT AND TREE FELL ON PHONE LINES. I HAD A PANIC ATTACK. I WAS OUT OF CONTROL. SWEATING AND HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING. RAN RED LIGHTS TO GET TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE WITH LAPTOP IN HAND. BUSTED IN AND STARTED SETTING UP IN A PANIC. HARDLY ABLE TO BREATH. IT TOOK ME TILL NOON TO CALM DOWN.
AFTER CLOSING BELL I WENT TO COMPUTER STORE AND CINGULAR WIRELESS SO I COULD RUN OFF MY CELL PHONE IF NECESSARY AND PURCHASED EXTRA BATTERY FOR CELL PHONE IN CASE OF NO ELECTRICITY.

Hi, My name is Debi. I am thanking God for MLK day, I can finally sleep in. Saturdays are usually busy with all the stuff I can't do M-F and I have Church on Sunday. So I will be sleeping in a little and will be a whole lot nicer for the experience.
